According to the Defense and Security Cooperation Agency , the cost of the AN/FPS-132 Block 5 was $1.1 billion. In 2013, Qatar requested the purchase of one such radar, including a set of basic equipment, technical and auxiliary facilities, communications equipment, encryption devices, spare parts and repair parts.

According to Defence Security Asia , representatives of the Qatari Ministry of Defense confirmed that an early warning system facility in the north of the country was the target of an Iranian attack.

In addition, Iranian media are publishing videos and satellite images showing the consequences of the strike on the radar in Qatar.
